Question:

What applications are you interested in porting to Linux.  If I can
compile a list of companies/apps that use ViewKit and want to port to
Linux and this is stopping them, that would make a valid business case for
porting ViewKit (if not GPL'ing it). I think people here could be
interested.

The last time I heard this proposed, there were some legal problems which
needed to be worked out.  Plus no one had made a really good marketing
case.

Please let me know!
